Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 122 Withered

Jacob started the engine, looked up at Sara and asked, "You haven't had breakfast, are you hungry?"

"Not really."

Jacob nodded, "Dad has asked the servants to prepare breakfast for us. We can have breakfast when we arrive."

"Okay," said Sara in a voice that only could be heard by herself

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and even the air became silent.

With so many questions and tangles in his mind, he couldn't say a word. Her heart used to be dead, but now she could feel that it was beating fiercely for this man again.

The warmth doll in her hand was so unreal. In the past years, Jacob had never bought him anything. But today, what did he mean? Or all these were meaningless?

Sara opened her mouth suddenly, "I..."

At the same time, Jacob said, "I..."

Her heartbeat stopped for a second and she didn't dare to say anything more. She could only peek at Jacob from the corner of her eyes. She should have hated him so much, but now she just couldn't manage to do that.

Jacob was still as cold as ice, but there was a trace of warmth in his voice. "Sara, I think I might have misunderstood you before. I'm sorry if I hurt you by accident. "

Looking at Jacob who was still wearing a cold face, Sara felt that the knot in her heart was slowly melting. However, no matter how weak it became, it couldn't disappear just because of such a small

thing.

The scars carved deeply in her heart were still looming at the moment.

This was not a problem could be solved with some warm behaviors. It took time to heal.

'Maybe I should let it go.' Turning her head to look at the car in front of her, Sara found that there was no one on the road.

"I have a rough idea of things about Alice. I will handle it as soon as possible and give you an explanation. When necessary, I will ask her to apologize to you. " Jacob coughed slightly, with a sore throat. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

She felt pleased secretly. Jacob had been acting so strange recently. What had happened? Why did he become so soft and gentle recently? He used to be cold and indifferent.

"Is there anything happened to you?" There was a clear doubt in Sara's voice.

She turned to look at Jacob, who was so familiar but so strange. Maybe it was because of the car accident, Jacob looked a little more mature. He didn't look arrogant as usual, nor did he look cold and aggressive.

Jacob quietly looked at the road ahead without saying anything. If possible, he really hoped that time would stop at this moment forever. In this way, Sara could be with him forever.

There was a trace of gloom in Jacob's eyes. Only a glance at him shocked Sara. The atmosphere in the car was extremely weird. The two people who were familiar with each other felt that they were gradually far away with each other.

Finally, there was nothing to say between them.

Sadness came over Sara. People always don't cherish their happy life until they lose it.

The silence was broken by Jacob's voice again, like a meteor streaking across the night. The meteor disappeared in an instant.

"Dad's condition seems to get worse." Jacob's sadness leaked out from his voice. If it weren't for this reason, how could he ask Sara to visit his father with him?

Michael implied that Jacob should also bring Sara when visiting him. As for Alice, Michael was quite indifferent to her since the first meet. But Jacob was deeply in love with Alice at that time, and Michael didn't object.

Hearing that, Sara felt a little nervous. She asked with concern, "Has dad's disease relapsed again?"

"When I was in hospital, father came to see me. I felt that he walked with a limp. He told me that the family doctor had lived in the villa for a long time. I'm afraid that he is seriously ill. " Jacob's voice was plain, with a touch of sadness, which was quite moving.

With a sigh, Sara looked a little depressed. She knew that birth, aging, illness and death were unavoidable in one's life, no matter how hard you tried to escape. But the sadness still came like a storm.

"Dad once said that you were the only daughter-in-law in his eyes. Alice wasn't pregnant. It was just a lie told to the board of directors. He always felt sorry for you. " Jacob recalled his father's words sincerely.

"Stop it. Let's go to see dad."

Jacob swallowed his apology again. If he apologized too much, the words may be devalued. Jacob sped up on the expressway.

Since Michael got sick, he bought a villa in the mountain in the suburbs to rest and recuperation. Although he lived in seclusion, Jacob still reported the situation in the company to his father.

After all, Michael was much more experienced in running the company. Especially in the early period when Jacob took over the company, his uncle and the vice general manager of the company who was promoted by his father had helped him a lot.

This Uncle James was not related by blood with Michael. He was adopted by Jacob's grandfather. James taught Jacob many things under the arrangement of Michael.

When Michael was sick, James assisted him in the company for two years, and then retired. It was more accurate to say that he had went back home to keep Michael company. For some reason, James also liked a woman when he was young, and then broke up with her and never got married.

Thinking of this, Jacob took a deep breath. Now he could understand his uncle James more than before. It seemed that James had become the butler in the family. He assisted Michael on whatever he wanted to do. It was undeniable that Uncle James was a man with management ability. In fact, he is no less talented than Michael.

Jacob hadn't seen James for a long time. Since the last Spring Festival, he seldom saw this uncle.

Although with the company of Uncle James, father won't feel lonely. But thinking of father's illness, Jacob could not help but lower his eyelids. He just felt sad for no reason.

The closest people in the world had to live apart. Jacob also wanted to live with his father after he got married, but his father refused, saying that he prefer living alone. Jacob knew that his father didn't want to cause him any trouble. After all, birds needed to fly by themselves. He couldn't really grow up with the bound of father.

Hearing Jacob's words, Sara was inexplicably sad. Although they had reached an agreement to get divorced, Michael had always regarded him as the legitimate daughter-in-law. He didn't make things difficult for her. Instead, he always stood up for her and thought for her. That was why he agreed to visit Michael with Jacob without hesitation.

The Maserati finally stopped at the gate of the villa. There were evergreen trees on both sides of the villa. Even if winter was coming, there was no sign of withering.

Although Sara came here for only two times per year, she still felt familiar with this place.

Every mid-year or at the end of the year, Jacob would take Sara here. It was like a regular work and both of them have been used to that. If they hadn't divorced this year, they would have come at the mid-year, but they didn't. But now, they were standing before the villa together again.

Looking at the tall and magnificent gate of the villa with two stone lion seated at the entrance. There were also rockeries and fountain in the yard. Although the fountain didn't spurt water at this time, it's still obvious that the owner of the villa was of high taste.
